Save all the songs you have. Go on to start>computer>look up your device plugged in on bottom?right click>format!

After that you should be clear! GoodLuck

But because it syncs with your computer there is no difference. Kinda like deleting pictures from camera on pc or doing it manually. 15+yrs. Computer experience<-------------

You will most likely need to format the player from the player's menu, not the computer because if you do it from the computer,it will only sync with your computer. This will delete all of the music off of the player, so copy and save any wanted tracks. But it will refresh your player so that it should work like normal. There should be a option in the player's menu that should say format and select that. After it is done formatting, then connect to the computer and make sure it works.

How to remove DRM from Rhapsody, Amazon Unbox

"I am thinking about subscribing to rhapsody because they have unlimited downloads for a monthly payment. Then I found that those music and videos are DRM protected so they wont work with my ipod. But can I remove DRM from Rhapsody? If it is ok what is the best DRM remover/converter?"

Also, Amazon Unbox, which was rebranded as "Amazon Video on Demand", only play in desktop applications that support Windows Media DRM, thereby excluding devices such as iPod or Zune. Then, how to remove DRM from Amazon Unbox files and enjoy them on other player?

Have you met situations like these? If yes, here is a detailed tutorial about removing DRM from online music provider, such as Rhapsody and Amazon Unbox.

To remove drm from Rhapsody, Amazon Unbox, the methods of removing Rhapsody DRM listed below:

1: Remove DRM from Rhapsody, Amazon Unbox for free.

CD burning and ripping
First, insert a CD-R or CD-RW disc into your drive, and burn your playlist onto the CD. Then have the other media player import the songs off the CD and save them . When the music is imported off the CD, they are no longer DRM protected.

It is the most commonly known method. But it is costly (waste CDs) and time consuming, especially when you have a lot of music.

2: Remove DRM from Rhapsody, Amazon Unbox using Wondershare Media converter.

Using software to remove DRM from Rhapsody is much easier and quicker.As far as I know, wondershare media converter was one kind of this. After giving a test for some free trials I found it is a good Rhapsody DRM removal software with high output quality, professional, and easy of use.

To remove DRM from Rhapsody, Amazon Unbox , what you need to is just the 3 easy steps:
1. add DRM protected music and video to it. You can preview your files by double-click it.
2. Choose output format. You can reset the output path too.
3. After that, the only thing you need to operate is just click the start button, and the converting process is starting. After converting, the files are DRM-ripped.

After you get the output music and video files converted from the Rhapsody or Amazon Unbox playlist, you can now begin to transfer the files to your iPod, iPhone, Zune, etc.

Scandisk Sansa Fuse giving a message to synchronize

Audio files from music subscriptino services come in several formats - Mp3, WMA, AAC, and sometimes WAV. The Rhapsody trial is for a subscription level that gives you the songs in WMA format. They have a license system on them called DRM protection. That is the problem with services that give you WMA files - once your subscription has expired, you cannot use the songs anymore, no matter how much you paid for them.

Your solution is to subscribe to Rhapsody's Mp3 Only service - it is more expensive, but you can continue to use the songs after your subscription has expired. Rhapsody offers several subscriptions - the only one that will solve your problem is the Mp3 Only service. Cheaper alternatives are more risky (virus-prone), but they include Limewire, Frostwire, and Morpheus - beware: all 3 of these services offer songs in multiple file formats - make sure that the songs you download are in mp3 format. Some ISP's will cut off your internet service if you use Limewire.

How do i synchronize my subscribtion

Hi,
I'm not sure what's the subscription service to which you are subscribed. However I've given you the steps below. Try whatever suits for you.
This error typically occurs when the DRM licensed files have expired.

SOLUTION 1 - Songs ripped from an audio CD
If the songs were ripped from a CD using Windows Media Player, modify the Rip Music settings.

SOLUTION 2 - Songs downloaded from music subscription service
If the songs were downloaded from a music subscription service (e.g., Napster, Rhapsody, Best Buy music store, etc.), follow these steps:
1. Make sure that your account subscription is updated and active.
2. Put the device in MTP mode and connect to the computer, then log in to your music subscription account.
3. Renew the licenses of your tracks
For Rhapsody:
On the Rhapsody console, right-click on your device and select License

1. Check the date & time on your PC & on your mp3 player. They should be one and the same. 2. You need to synchronize your device with rhapsody once in every 30 days. It's a must. Failing to do so, you will not be able to play music in your mp3 player. Here are a few a steps to synchronize your device with rhapsody: 1.Open Rhapsody / Best Buy Digital Music Store and sign in 2.Connect your mp3 player to the computer 3.Go to My Account --> Update Track Licenses 4.Transfer a track to your device 5.Disconnect your device and enjoy music on the go!
3. Here is a link to get the Sansa Firmware updater to update the firmware for your device automatically: http://www.sandisk.com/Retail/Default.aspx?CatID=1376
4. Click on this links if you are asked to synchronize your device with rhapsody? http://reclisten.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/reclisten.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=6606&tabName=tab3
For others:
Contact music subscriber for instructions on how to renew as they vary.

SOLUTION 3 - Rename the Windows DRM folder

NOTE:  The Windows DRM (Digital Rights Management) folder contains licenses for secure media files such as your subscription tracks.

STEP 1 - Edit the folder options of the PC to show the hidden files
Windows XP:
1. Double-click My Computer.
2. On the Menu bar, click Tools > Folder Options, and then click the View tab.
3. Under Hidden files and Folder, click to select Show hidden files and folders.
4. Under Hidden files and Folder, click to clear Hide protected operating system files (Recommended) check box.
5. Click Apply, and then OK.

Windows Vista:
1. Double-click Computer.
2. Click the Organize button at the upper left corner.
3. Click Folder and Search options.
4. Click the View tab and select Show hidden files and folders.
5. Click to clear the Hide protected operating system files check box.
6. Click Apply, and then OK.

STEP 2 - Rename the DRM folder
1. Double-click My Computer > C: > Documents and Settings > All Users.
2. Right-click the DRM folder and select Rename.
3. Rename this as OLDDRM.
4. Run the subscription service program you are using and renew the licenses to recreate the DRM folder with new licenses.

STEP 3 - Synchronize your device once more on MTP mode

SOLUTION 4 -  Format the player under Windows Media Player.

Sansa e260...bad software

Ok, so I feel like an idiot....
The software did in fact get downloaded....the problem was me...(of course!)
I went to Settings on my mp3 player and went to Mode and somehow it had gotten switched from Rhapsody to the PlaysForSure mode. In the PlaysForSure mode it acts like a "normal" mp3 player and will not sync with Rhapsody....so my Rhapsody software wasn't needed in this mode. After I switched it to the Rhapsody mode everything worked like it was supposed to with my mp3 player.
The Sansa Sandisk e260r is a great little mp3 player. Everytime I've had problems with it...it's been me not understanding it.
Thanks!

Wont regonize music

Reason could be because if you are no longer an "active' customer, the mp3 player can't go out and download the "permissions/rights" needed to play the song. As opposed to the songs you rip because you are using the cd for that, which means the songs are yours. At least thats my opinion.
